Were you involved in a Pennsylvania work accident and suffered injuries as a result? You may worry about what is in store for the weeks and months to come. For instance, you may wonder:

How much will my medical bills cost?

Will I need physical therapy or rehabilitation?

If I have to miss work, how will I pay my bills?

What if my injury has long-term effects?

Will I be able to return to work in the same capacity?

When will the pain go away?

The period following a work accident injury is fraught with stress and worry, not to mention physical pain and suffering.

How Do I Win Compensation for My Middletown Work Injury?

Depending on the responsible party or parties in your accident, we have two options for pursuing compensation. In some cases, we can use both methods to recover the money you need to care of yourself.

To seek damages from your employer, we must file a claim through the workers’ compensation system. If the responsible party is someone other than your employer, we can file a third-party claim, using a process that resembles a traditional settlement or lawsuit.

Workers’ Compensation Claims

Workers’ compensation is an insurance program for injured workers, the participation in which is compulsory for most employers. Companies pay premiums on behalf of each employee. If you suffer an injury at work, you can file a claim and receive compensation. The benefit to the employer is that participation in the workers’ compensation program shields the company from additional liability. In other words, if your employer is in good standing with workers’ compensation, we cannot file a lawsuit to recover compensation for your injury.

In theory, workers’ compensation also offers a benefit to you, the employee. It provides an easy, streamlined way to receive compensation for a work injury. Unfortunately, your employer can make that process much more difficult than it should be. For instance, your employer might try to deny your claim, alleging that your injury was your own fault, that you were intoxicated or behaving recklessly when you got hurt, or by making another such claim.

Our attorneys can evaluate your claim and anticipate any challenges from your employer. We can then gather evidence to counter these arguments and fight for fair compensation.

Third-Party Claims

Workers’ compensation only applies when you are pursuing your employer for damages. If we also wish to pursue a third party, we can use a traditional settlement negotiation process. If we cannot agree to a fair settlement outside of court, we can file a lawsuit.

Who Are Some Potentially Responsible Third Parties?

With some work injuries, a third party is either solely responsible or shares responsibility with your employer. Potentially responsible third parties include the following.

Manufacturers

This often applies when your injury occurred due to a defective piece of work equipment, such as scaffolding or construction equipment. In such a scenario, we can hold the manufacturer liable for damages.

To do this, we do not even need to show that the manufacturer was negligent in the process of producing and marketing the product. Rather, we just have to demonstrate that you were using the product for its intended purpose and that nobody altered it from its original form.

Site Owners

If another party—other than your employer—owns the job site where your injury occurred, that individual or company might bear liability for your accident. Premises liability laws in Pennsylvania hold property owners and managers responsible for keeping premises free from hazards, and for warning guests about any potential dangers that emerge.
